Within these covers you'll find yourself immersed in stories as related by Mary, using her own quaint dialogue, as she recalled moments of her life from the comfort of her armchair:



'...Mary Florence Henshelwood (known as Mollie) was the name given to myself when I entered the world on 6 August 1920. It was a very cold wintery day with ice on the well from which water had to be pumped.



I was the youngest daughter born to Daisy Eveline Wilson and James John Haden Henshelwood. My parents were living on the outskirts of Hobart, Tasmania...'



The author, dedicates her book "Armchair Memoires" to her great grandchildren, to give them a glimpse into their great-grandmother's world, so different from their own.
